Fort Collins has lost another one of its staple restaurants.

Mulligan's, the place where I asked one of my good friends to be a groomsman at my wedding, has been seized and shut down by the state.

A sign on the door of Mulligan’s Pub & Restaurant, 2439 S. College Ave., says the restaurant and bar owes the state more than $57,000 in back sales taxes and wage withholdings. Merchants collect sales taxes on behalf of the state, but struggling establishments sometimes use that money to pay their own bills, hoping to eventually catch up when business improves.
